1. Since we're talking about a square, we'll have 4 sides that measure the same. This way, the perimeter is:


\begin{gathered} 4s=4AB=4\cdot9 \\ \rightarrow36 \end{gathered}

2. Notice that the transformation contracts distance by a factor of 3 (all distances are reduce to a third part).

Consequently, sides will be reduce to their third part too. This way, the new perimeter would be:


\begin{gathered} 4\cdot((1)/(3)\cdot9) \\ \rightarrow12 \end{gathered}

3. The area of the square is the lenght of its sides squared. This way, the area of ABCD is:


9^2=81

4. Knowing that the new sides measure 3, the new area would be:


3^2=9
